District Implements new visitor and staff identification policy

To promote effective communication between the citizens of the community and the school system, the Board of Education encourages parents and other citizens to visit their schools periodically during the course of the school year.

 

The district has implemented a new visitor and staff identification policy, effective immediately. The purpose of the access control system is to enhance building security and ensure that each visitor has legitimate business with the school district. It shall be the policy of the Watervliet City Schools that all visitors and staff be identified before gaining access to school buildings and must wear identification badges while on school property.

 

All visitors must sign in and will be issued an identification badge at this time. Visitors will be required to leave some sort of personal property as collateral for the badge (such as their license, a set of car keys etc.). Visitors will be escorted to and from the location they are visiting and will need to turn in their badge before they leave in order to get their personal property back.
